The Marvel Studios’ Visual Dictionary and Character Encyclopedia may have retconned one of the new Avengers’ origin stories and could have changed the direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward.
An eagle-eyed Marvel fan on Reddit posted a segment from the Marvel Studios Visual Dictionary and Character Encyclopedia that may have retconned Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) origin story.

Marvel Studios’ Character Dictionary Lays the Groundwork For the Revelation That Wanda Is A Mutant from MarvelStudiosSpoilers
The text explains how Loki’s (Tom Hiddleston) scepter with the mind stone intact could have actually “unlocked something latent inside of Wanda” which opens the door to Wanda (Olsen) actually being a mutant this whole time.
Marvel Studios was not able to use the word “mutant” because of the rights belonging formally to 20th Century Fox, but after the Disney-Fox merger, the MCU now has ownership of the X-Men and the word mutant.
If this is confirmed to be a retcon of the Scarlet Witch character, then Marvel Studios could use this going forward to explain the sudden emergence of mutants in the MCU following Thanos’ snap in Avengers: Infinity War and Tony’s snap in Avengers: Endgame.
What do you think about Marvel Studios possibly retconning the origins of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen)? What do you think this could this mean for the future of the MCU? Let us know in the comment section below!
You can see Wanda Maximoff (Olsen) make her return in Avengers: Endgame:
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, “Avengers: Endgame.”

Top Actors To Replace Ben Affleck In Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’
Ben Affleck is officially out as Batman and it's a pretty sad day.
Words cannot describe how sad I am to see Ben Affleck announce that he's no longer Batman. His Batman is why I do what I do. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I fell in love with his comic book-accurate interpretation of the Caped Crusader. It was a breath of fresh air and it felt like we finally had the one true Batman.
Three years have quickly sped by and we're officially going to receive a new Batman for his next movie. Last night, Ben Affleck announced that he will not return as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves' The Batman and now everyone's attention has moved towards wanting to know who the next Bruce Wayne will be. Matt Reeves is said to want an actor that's around 20 years younger than Affleck while Warner Bros. wants someone older. My guess is that Reeves wants a fresh start while the studio wants an older actor for crossover potential.
In this list, I will discuss the actors I think can replace Ben Affleck as Batman using the parameters that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. want. Hit Next to see our picks to play the Batman.
Michael Fassbender
Michael Fassbender is an X-Men alum and no stranger to comic book franchises. The actor has shown multiple levels of range and could definitely handle the Batman/Bruce Wayne personality. If they go with the older range for the next Dark Knight, then Fassbender is probably one of the best choices to take over the role.
Ben Barnes
Ben Barnes is out of a job after The Punisher season 2 and he's one of the best actors in that series. The second season tied up Barnes' arc on The Punisher and the actor has already told us that that he'd love to play the Caped Crusader. Barnes definitely has the pretty boy look going on for him and I wonder what his take on Bruce Wayne could be.
Ryan Gosling
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Ryan Gosling needs to star in a superhero movie. I've always thought Gosling would make a great Batman. Every role that he's done has shown us his capability and he could crush it as Bruce Wayne.
Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm is my top choice for an older Batman. If Warner Bros. wants to cast an older actor for crossover potential, Jon Hamm is the studio's best bet. He has a similar look to Ben Affleck, and c'mon, the guy's look just screams Bruce Wayne.
Armie Hammer
Armie Hammer is 32 years old and was cast as the Caped Crusader in George Miller's Justice League: Mortal. That film will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean that Hammer doesn't deserve a second shot at being the Batman. He's charming, broody and will probably give his all for this role. Armie Hammer is a great option because he's young enough for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. could work in a way for him to crossover with the rest of the DC Extended Universe.
Richard Madden
Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden is my top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. The actor is young, has the look and definitely has the acting chops to play the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Madden just won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television series for the BBC drama Bodyguard, so Warner Bros. may want to quickly snatch him up.
